SURT [the destroyer]

Last weekend some old friends of mine in Savannah debuted their new band SURT [the destroyer] at the Savannah night club Live Wire. Some You Tube videos of their show can be seen here:

and here:

After the show two of the three man group, Jason Statts and Dave Williams drove to a friend's house on East 48th Street. They were approached by a black drug dealer who offered them drugs that they refused. The man then asked for money. Jason shared a beer with the guy and as the two of them walked away the son of a bitch came around to Jason's side of the car and shot Jason at point blank range. The bullet passed through Jason's neck and lodged into Dave's. Their injuries are very serious and both guys have a long and painful recovery ahead of them.

In response to the tragedy I've made a poster for their band Surt. It is the best fucking band that may never be again. It is worthy of a hundred posters. Anyone interested in a 8.5" x 11" sized print of the poster can purchase one from me for $25.oo. I will print them at cost. All proceeds will be donated to Jason and Dave. I am also giving the master file to John, the Surt drummer so that he can use the image for local fundraising in Savannah.

The poster looks INCREDIBLE!! I sent it to the boys and I'm sure they will be stoked. Thanks so much for doing this for us, I know it will make them lots of money for their expenses. A whole bunch of us are going out today to post fliers/posters about the reward at crimestoppers, which at this time is $7,000. I hope someone comes forward and turns them in.

I just required some information and was searching on Google for it. I visited each page that came on first page and didn’t got any relevant result then I thought to check out the second one and got your blog. This is what I wanted!
